'Beyond War Games': 'The Final Beginning' (4 Parts) by Mark Wright and Nicholas Briggs

Before Earth, before UNIT, before exile, the Second Doctor enters into a dangerous bargain in return for his freedom...

Believing he has escaped exile - and a change to his appearance - by the Time Lords, the Doctor finds himself lost on a snowy, alien world. He is not alone – prospectors Catrona and Silas are stranded on this nightmare planet, but without his TARDIS, the Doctor is powerless to help them.

Seeking answers – and freedom – the Doctor’s hopes and suspicions are aroused when a crashed TARDIS is discovered in the snow. Are Catrona and Silas as innocent as they seem? And who is Raven, the young woman who watches from afar?
Long buried secrets are about to be revealed in this icy wasteland, and the Doctor discovers that every end has a terrifying new beginning…

Notes:

*Featuring the Second Doctor
